The anomalous star sectors like Nephilim and Nepherym remained eerily silent.
The Tzeentchian ocean in these areas was unusually calm, as if an invisible glass had suppressed the raging storms.
The anomaly in this place was so obvious that even the Chaos Gods, despite their reluctance, could not ignore it.
However, even if they paid attention, there was little they could do.
Here, fate and authority were blocked by Blackstone, the power of the Warp was almost zero, and their influence was also almost zero.
Even though Chaos cultists continuously tried to use blood sacrifices and other methods, they were always unable to contact their gods.
Many Chaos factions made destroying the Haunted Dead Zone their goal to please the gods.
The most fanatical Chaos cultists believed that by destroying the Haunted Dead Zone, they could attract the blessings of the Dark Gods.
After the disastrous defeat on Longlin Star, Abaddon and the Chaos demigod Vashtorr almost had a falling out.
Abaddon ordered his subordinates to open fire, and Vashtorr also ordered his followers to retaliate, resulting in an extremely brutal battle with casualties on both sides.
However, once the truth of the matter was revealed, coupled with the threat from the Imperium of Man,
the two, no matter how unwilling, were forced to unite again.
Abaddon needed to destroy the Imperium of Man, while Vashtorr needed to use the opportunity of the Great Rift being torn open to ascend to become a Chaos God.
In the galaxy, there were very few who could become their allies, so they could only reluctantly cooperate.
Vashtorr retrieved ancient technological artifacts from the Warp, one after another.
These technological artifacts came from various annihilated races, including the Old Ones and the Ark Eldar.
After all, these two races were once the overlords of the galaxy and had built countless magnificent structures.
Among them were engines similar in function to those on Longlin Star, capable of opening corrupted Webways.
Unfortunately, such engines did not resonate with the treasures left by the Old Ones, so they could not use the key's properties to find the Old Ones' treasure trove.
But these engines could reverse the polarity of the blackstone obelisk, allowing it to support Chaos power from being repelled.
He ordered the Chaos army to enter the Haunted Dead Zone, corrupt the blackstone obelisk, and confront the Haunted Dead Zone.
Abaddon dispatched his trusted Soul Eaters Battle Group to assist and monitor Vashtorr, ensuring that things would not be messed up by him again.
The Word Bearers also chose to participate in the war due to the Haunted Dead Zone's offense to the gods.
The silence field released by the blackstone obelisk severely weakened the Word Bearers' ability to cast Warp magic, suppressing corrupt activities such as daemon binding and daemon possession.
Their faith in the Dark Gods made their troops almost immune to the effects of the Haunted Dead Zone.
The forces of Dark Apostle Zarkis Ammon even allied with Vashtorr to corrupt the blackstone obelisk and destroy the Haunted Dead Zone.
The Thousand Sons Legion also entered the Haunted Dead Zone under the command of the Lord of Change, and at a critical moment, they would disrupt Vashtorr's ascension plan and prevent the birth of a new Chaos God.

Besides Chaos,
Xenos forces were also entering the Haunted Dead Zone.
The Orks assembled an exaggerated WAAAGH! army, taking advantage of the Imperium of Man's weakness to plunder various planets of the Imperium of Man.
However, they were also affected by the Haunted Dead Zone, and their WAAAGH! energy was weakened.
But their learning ability was very strong.
Big Mek quickly researched how to use Blackstone, embedding Blackstone into vehicles, mechs, and Squigs, to restore local WAAAGH! energy and resist the effects of the Haunted Dead Zone.
The Ark Eldar, on the other hand, fulfilled their alliance with the Imperium of Man and sent troops to assist the Imperial forces.
On the Imperium of Man's side, several large Imperial fleets entered the Haunted Dead Zone from different directions.
And the Players, under the call of the expansion pack, went to the anomalous star sectors, preparing to assist the Imperium of Man in destroying the Haunted Dead Zone and defeating the Necrons.
The Thirteenth Legion was one of the Battle Groups that responded to the call of the expansion pack.
A Bowl of Lobster Soup, leading many companions, with a Sky Punishment Colossus as the flagship, supplemented by numerous battleships and cruisers, majestically entered the Haunted Dead Zone.
As soon as they entered, they encountered an Imperial planet under siege.
A large number of Xenos warships destroyed the Imperium of Man's space defense stations and weapon platforms, and blockaded the planet.
The Thirteenth Legion, of course, could not tolerate such a thing.
"Open fire," A Bowl of Lobster Soup commanded.
Their fleet's firepower was extremely fierce; in just a moment, they made those Xenos doubt their lives.
Warships were constantly being destroyed, exploding into fragments in the void.
By stealing enemy communications, A Bowl of Lobster Soup also knew who these plundering Xenos were.
Space Dwarves, a race that originated from humans but denied belonging to humanity.
As old fans of Warhammer, Players like A Bowl of Lobster Soup naturally knew the origin of the Space Dwarves.
The ancestors of the Space Dwarves, also known as the Kin, were among the first human pioneers to leave Terra.
Unlike other advance parties, they went to the center of the galaxy.
These people discovered rich mineral deposits in the galactic core, not only high-temperature molten cores of dead stars but also special substances formed during the birth of the galaxy.
It should be known that at that time, the universe had not even established its most basic laws.
One can imagine how precious these creations were.
The galactic core had almost infinite resources, and this news, once it reached Earth, whose resources were depleted, sparked a craze.
Soon, countless people, with dreams of pioneering, headed for the galactic core.
However, there were many stars there, and the gravity was also greater than in other regions of the galaxy.
Over time, the humans living there had their height reduced, and their bodies became sturdier.
When the Age of Night fell, and contact between the galactic core and other regions of the galaxy was severed,
these lost ones were always unable to contact Earth.
During thousands of years of isolation, they lost their sense of belonging to Earth, considering their inhabited worlds as their homeworlds.
They struggled to survive with the help of Ancestor Cores, and redeveloped their technology.
When the Age of Night ended and the storms subsided, they began to expand outward.
At that time, it was the Great Crusade of mankind.
Unfortunately, Horus's rebellion caused the Imperium of Man to miss the opportunity to unify the Dwarves.
In the following ten thousand years, the Dwarves were active as mercenaries on the frontiers of the Imperium of Man.
But their military strength was only inferior to the Imperium of Man, much stronger than other races.
It is rumored that part of the T'au's technology was their gift.
Facing the fierce firepower of the Thirteenth Legion, the Space Dwarves' fleet was defeated, and some Kin were captured.
"Wow, are these Dwarves?"
"Hahaha, as recorded in the data, they are indeed short and stout."
"..."
When the Kin were escorted to the flagship, it caused a heated discussion among the Players.
After questioning, Players like A Bowl of Lobster Soup learned that these Kin belonged to the Greater Sorian League.
This alliance was composed of over two hundred Kin war-bands and several wealthy guilds, making its scale enormous.
Leading them was the Fated One - Usar.
This person was one of the strongest leaders of the Greater Sorian League, the victor of the Death Star battle, and the one who slaughtered the Ork warlord - Iron Beast Gobrak.
It is rumored that he was the Fated One prophesied by the Ancestor Cores, born with a great mission, and granted the miraculous Ancestor Blade, possessing strong rallying power.
"First, imprison them," A Bowl of Lobster Soup ordered his men to take the Kin into custody.
Although the Dwarves did not acknowledge themselves as humans, they ultimately shared the same genetic sequence with humans, so they could not be killed off like other Xenos; they had to await the opinion from Terra.
Encountering the raiding fleet of the Greater Sorian League was just a small interlude.
After rescuing the besieged planet, the Thirteenth Legion did not linger but proceeded directly to their strategic destination, to raid the Necrons Dynasty.
Other Player Battle Groups were also continuously pouring into the Haunted Dead Zone.
The Hainan Warlords, Space Huskies, and other Battle Groups all joined the battle.
Even the The Sitting-and-Forgetting Dao, always looking for trouble, arrived with the purified Longlin Star to stir things up.
At this time, Longlin Star had undergone a great transformation.
Numerous statues of the Emperor were located on the planet's surface, and Ecclesiarchy priests chanted prayers day and night.
Powerful faith energy filled this planet, suppressing the power of Chaos.
Longlin Star's ability was terrifying.
Through faith and ancient Old Ones technology, it directly dug a passage between Reality and the Warp, reaching the edge of the Sindus System.
The Sindus System was the core of the Haunted Dead Zone.
A massive Blackstone cage was built here.
Necrons technicians had imprisoned the giant raging star at the center of the system.
Countless Necrons constructs hovered around the Blackstone cage, anchoring this colossal stone prison with flickering energy beams.
Innumerable Tomb ships patrolled near the Blackstone cage.
The Haunted Dead Zone was composed of the Blackstone cage and countless massive Obelisks, and the Sindus System was the core of this vast field, used as an anti-Warp negative energy pool.
Destroying it would end this disaster and restore everything to its former tranquility.
The arrival of the The Sitting-and-Forgetting Dao angered Silent King Szarekh.
He had not expected the monkeys of the Imperium of Man to arrive so quickly.
How long had it been since Illuminor Szeras was defeated? And they had already reached the core area.
He ordered his fleet to attack, but the The Sitting-and-Forgetting Dao did not engage, instead constantly increasing the distance.
When the Necrons fleet worried it was a feint, they stopped again.
In front of the Necrons fleet, they activated Longlin Star, opening a new temporary Webway, with the other end of the Webway connected to the Ork WAAAGH! army.
Then, they opened a temporary passage between the Tyranids Behemoth main fleet and the Sindus System.
Watching countless Ork warships and Tyranids fleets pour in and engage in fierce battles with the Necrons.
Szarekh: "..."
Who taught you to fight like this?
Even the Old Ones never did anything so disgusting!!
And in the control room of Longlin Star, the Players, led by Hong Zhong, laughed heartily.
"I think we should open another one, directly to the Eye of Terror or Abaddon's Vengeful Spirit."
A Player suggested.
"With the Haunted Dead Zone, daemons can't get through."
"Who cares if it works or not, just open it first."
"..."
Hearing his companions' discussion, Hong Zhong shook his head and stated his plan.
"The power of the Haunted Dead Zone is too strong; ordinary daemons can't cause much trouble."
"We'll open a temporary Webway to find Vashtorr and tease that big fool."
Hong Zhong's words made the other Players look at each other, then all broke into mischievous smiles.
"Boss is right."
"If Vashtorr sees us driving Longlin Star, he'll probably die of anger."
"..."
The Players, having reached an agreement, quickly took action.
They activated Longlin Star, opening a new temporary Webway directly to the void where Vashtorr was located.
